Applications

Transmission Testing The TX130+ is perfectly suited for both in-service and out-of-service measurements on DSn (T-Carrier) networks. Out-of-service testing usually applies to the installation, commissioning and the “bringing into service” measurements needed to qualify a digital transmission link using industry standard test patterns and methods. In-service testing is an important, ongoing maintenance task - field technicians can monitor PCM signals for errors, alarms, level, frequency and pulse shape to prevent service degradation. The transmitter and receiver can be configured independently to perform MUX tests and round trip delay measurements are possible at various points across the network using any of the test interfaces.

Mobile Backhaul Testing Mobile operators confronted with the explosive growth of data-centric services driven by 3G and LTE Smartphone applications, are urgently upgrading and migrating traditional TDM backhaul networks to Ethernet/IP packet-based technologies. The TX130+ tester equipped with a hybrid of interfaces and applications is perfectly equipped to test both DSn (T-Carrier) and IP transport over copper and fiber backhaul connections across the Radio Access Network (RAN).

Performance Analysis SummaryThe summary screen displays Pass/Fail criteria for each major parameter. A large color coded message informs or alerts the technician of the circuit’s status. The Analysis tab reports test performance per ANSI, Bellcore or ITU-T recommendations.

Errors and AlarmsBER testing is commonly used to verify continuity across a digital link, to check for faults, and for performing acceptance tests.Equipped with an extensive range of test patterns including the ability to inject errors in the pattern, framing and alarm bits, the TX130+ quickly evaluates circuits and examines error responses. Anomalies (errors) and defects (alarms) are clearly displayed and recorded for each network segment, and are logged for further analysis.

DSn (T-Carrier)DSn (T-Carrier) Features

Advanced Mode

Quick and Easy Graphical SetupComplex daily tasks are common in today’s network environment, so technicians need a tester that is easy to configure and which doesn’t require extensive product training beforehand.

The test interface, signal structure, and test pattern setups are structured logically ensuring quick and efficient configuration. An intuitive graphical menu and a list of shortcuts provides fast access to commonly used DSn or PDH test functions boosting productivity.

Physical Layer TestingPrior to performing digital measurements, technicians should confirm analog parameters fall within prescribed limits.

Clock tolerances for each signal hierarchy defined by ITU-T and ANSI recommendations can easily be verified.

Incorrect pulse shape is a result of excessive cable length, impedance mismatch, or poor transmitter design. The G.703 pulse mask option quickly identifies related problems.

Page 4: BX100AP HR 081109 - ttswebsite.com.pdf · Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) OAM discovery and loopback controls are supported. This feature allows for the discovery of IEEE 802.3ah

Data integrity in plesiochronous networks depends largely on the phase stability of clock and data signals, therefore excessive jitter can cause network outages. Because BER testing is the common method to diagnose network problems in the field, results often mislead the technician because only the effect of a problem and not the actual cause is reported. Ultimately, this makes fault identification more difficult, time consuming, and expensive.

The jitter software option of the TX130+ uses advanced digital measurement techniques for measuring intrinsic jitter, allowing technicians to easily determine when jitter is the source of errors.

Jitter MetricsOutput jitter performance mandated by ITU-T and Telcordia standards is evaluated by measuring the recovered clock of the incoming signal (DS1, DS3, E1, E3) traversing the network.

While the test duration is not defined in the mentioned standards, a measurement period time of 1 minute is recommended. Specified in unit intervals (UI), the maximum Peak-to-Peak Jitter is the most important parameter because Max values are indicative of performance, as these extremes generally cause errors. While jitter is defined as any phase variations above 10Hz, the incoming signal must be filtered in order to measure jitter – the user is therefore able to select between Wide band and High band filters to adjust the measurement bandwidth as required.

Jitter Measurements

ISDN/VF TESTINGJITTER

The ISDN option provides key functionality necessary for testing and troubleshooting T1 or E1 Primary Rate connections. Operating in TE or NT modes, the unit is able to setup and receive ISDN calls with user-defined parameters including call control protocol, called number and related facilities.

Protocol functions feature detailed signaling statistics, message monitoring and decode, and complete result presentation. With these capabilities, analysis of international and national ISDN, and other access protocols is possible.

The Voice Frequency (VF) option is a basic diagnostic tool to install, verify and troubleshoot voice circuits. Digital to analog conversion tests are performed by inserting/measuring tones with user defined frequency and level on selected sub-rate channels.

A microphone/headset adaptor enables Talk/listen capability on a selected timeslot whilst a powerful function allows VF decoding at all DSn/PDH rates.

The Ping over WAN option verifies IP service across T1 or E1 interfaces. The TX130+ can replace a customer router, modem, or Integrated Access Device (IAD) in order to check IP connectivity with a local or remote end point by transmitting and responding to ICMP echo requests (PINGs).

However before any layer 3 protocol can traverse the WAN using a dialup or dedicated leased line, it must be encapsulated by a data-link layer protocol. Depending on test application and interface, the technician can encapsulate the IP packets using either:

• PPP over HDLC• Ethernet over HDLC

Both static and DHCP connection modes are supported, and the user can determine the IP address and number of Pings to send.

ETHERNETEthernet Features

Intelligent Network/Device DiscoveryEasily discover and select another TX130+, MX100+ tester or MLX100 on the network under test for loopback testing applications. The local device will control the operation of the far end device, in either loopback or peer-to-peer mode. This feature greatly simplifies field testing since there is no need for a second technician to be at the far end configuring the test partner device.

RFC2544 Compliance TestingPerforms the RFC2544 automated test suite at all recommended frame sizes including user configurable frame sizes and up to full line rate. The test suite can also be performed with the far end test partner in loopback mode or peer-to-peer mode - the latter allowing for symmetrical/asymmetrical testing. Thresholds may be configured for accurate SLA assurance and verification. The automated tests supported are throughput, latency, frame loss, and back-to-back frames.

BERT Layer 1, 2, 3, and Layer 4 BER testing is supported. The BER test can be configured to use regular PRBS test patterns, stress patterns or user defined test patterns to simulate various conditions. All patterns are encapsulated into an Ethernet frame to verify bit-per-bit performance of circuit under test.

One traffic stream is transmitted across the network under test and bit-per-bit error checking is then performed on the received traffic. Service disruption measurements as well as CRC error checking are also performed. The BER test can be performed with a physical loop (or plug) at the far end (for a layer 1 circuit), or a second test unit or intelligent loopback device in Smart Loop or in Peer-to-Peer mode.

Throughput TestA single traffic stream can be configured with CoS (VLAN priority) and QoS (TOS/DSCP) prioritization to facilitate end-to-end performance verification. The throughput test may be performed with a second test unit at the far end in Smart Loop mode or Peer-to-Peer mode.

Media ConvertersOptical interface testing using VeEX media convertersThe MC100 is a rate-switching 10/100 UTP copper to 100BASE-FX fiber media converter providing cost-effective connectivity between the TX130+ and 100 Mbit/s legacy fiber based networks.

The MC1000 is a miniature 1000BASE-T UTP copper to 1000BASE-X fiber Gigabit Ethernet media converter supporting connectivity from Gigabit switches and other devices such as computers.

Both media converters employ Small Form Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers to support different fiber types, data rates and distances. They can be powered by an external 5 Volt AC power supply or directly from the USB port on the TX130+ unit.

IEEE 802.3ah OAM SupportEthernet in the First Mile (EFM) OAM discovery and loopback controls are supported. This feature allows for the discovery of IEEE 802.3ah OAM-enabled devices and the ability to loopback these devices.

MPLS MeasurementsMultiple Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a technology that allows for a more efficient routing of Ethernet/IP packets via the use of MPLS routers in the network. MPLS labels reside between the MAC (Layer 2) and IP layers (Layer 3). Up to three MPLS tags can be configured in the traffic stream with user configurable Label, CoS, and TTL fields.

Q-in-Q (VLAN stacking)For Metro and Carrier Ethernet applications, VLAN stacking, also known as Q-in-Q, is supported. This feature makes a provision for carrier/service provider assigned VLANs, but also retains the VLAN of customer traffic.

Smart LoopbacksFour modes are available for looping back test traffic. At Layer 1, all incoming traffic is looped back unaltered. For Layer 2, all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with the MAC source and destination addresses swapped. For Layer 3, all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with the MAC and IP source and destination addresses swapped, and for Layer 4, all incoming unicast traffic is looped back with the MAC, IP, and UDP/TCP ports swapped.

Ethernet Features cont’d

Test Port StatusAuto-negotiation is a function that enables Fast Ethernet devices to automatically exchange information over a link about speed and duplex abilities. A common cause of performance issues on 10/100T Ethernet links occurs when one port on the link operates at half-duplex while the other port operates at full-duplex.

The port status feature of the TX130+ reports the auto-negotiation and link advertisement parameters of both test set and link partner, which helps to reduce many link performance-related support calls.

Delay and Jitter MeasurementsFrame delay and Jitter measurements are supported. Jitter measurements are based on RFC3393 which describes the industry recognized Inter Packet Delay Variation (IPDV) method.Jitter measurements are performed on the test traffic during BER tests or throughput tests.

IP/IPTV TESTINGIP Testing

Used initially only for Local Area Network (LAN) connectivity within the enterprise, the Internet Protocol (IP) has quickly grown to be the de-facto standard for multi-service network transport.

For Telco and IT technicians, it’s no longer enough to validate equipment at the physical interface or connection protocol level only, so IP testing has become a routine task during service installation and restoration.

The TX130+ supports an array of IP test functions over the 10/100/1000BaseT port including Ping, Trace Route and Triple Play measurement tasks. Web browsing, FTP throughput, VoIP and IPTV tests can be performed at various points in the network to ensure customer satisfaction.

IPTV Service Verification

Facing the growing challenge from competition in the cable television and wireless mobile industries, traditional telco’s are fast deploying IPTV to reduce customer churn in order to preserve revenues. As a consequence, technicians normally assigned to take care of leased line and datacom services are now being called upon to make IPTV measurements in order to reduce expensive truck rolls.

Although IPTV testing can be a complicated and daunting task, the TX130+ has been equipped with a good balance of user friendly functions needed to install and troubleshoot IP video service.

• Set-Top Box (STB) emulation offers registration, IGMP and RTSP signaling for Broadcast and Video on Demand (VOD) applications. • Transport stream analysis encompasses data/video/audio bit rates and Program Identification (PID) mapping. • Packet jitter and loss, IGMP latency (channel zapping), PCR and MDI statistics including a Viewer function provide valuable Quality of

Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics.
